Marcela is the best. She came to my rescue when I was really in a pickle for two days worth of drop in visits. It was the first time I used her services and she accepted the job on short notice which was a life saver for me. She was very communicative off the bat and was able to work with me as far as the schedule. She sent updates and pics and I came home to calm and happy fur babies! I was very pleased, I will definitely use her services again.

About: We have 5 animals in the house, we’ve had them since they were puppies and all get along and friendly towards other people and animals. I work from home and take the pups out 5 times a day. Can take them out more if a pup has a weaker bladder. I usually take mine out at the same time but have enough time in the day to take your pup out individually. Everyone really lounges at home while I work or go out but my boy loves to play so we have best of both worlds and doggie beds all over the house if they’re tired or can play in the back yard.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, including walks, playtime, feeding, medications, and multi-pet households. I love keeping pets happy and comfortable in their own homes while you’re away. My visits include walks or playtime, fresh food and water, plenty of attention and cuddles, and photo updates so you know your pet is doing great! 🐾 With a military and paramedic background and a flexible homeschooling schedule, I’m dependable, responsible, and ready to give your pets lots of love and attention. Since we can’t have pets of our own due to an allergy in our family, I’m happy to get my pet fix by loving on yours! ❤️ My flexible stay-at-home homeschooling schedule allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the day and can give your pets the specialized attention and care they need without feeling rushed. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! I’ll follow their routine, carefully follow your instructions, and keep them happy and secure in their own home. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

Ruth was great! When we came home, everything had been done for Skiity. She made a point of communicating on a daily basis and letting us know that our cat was OK. I really appreciate Ruth’s dedication and responsibility.

About: I truly love animals and take pet care seriously. I have some experience taking care of my own dog at home, as well as helping care for dogs owned by friends and family. I am patient, responsible, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently working part-time, so I am able to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I always follow the owner’s instructions and provide care in a safe, clean, and calm environment. I currently live in an on-campus apartment, where I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I respect routines and communicate clearly with owners to ensure pets are safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I currently have a playful 1-year-old Schnauzer at home. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with special diets and can follow basic medical instructions with care. I always take the time to connect with each dog based on their unique personality. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have all the time in the world to care for and play with your pet! I’m available 7 days a week and would love to spend quality time with your furry friend. I also have a fenced yard and my sweet Schnauzer can keep your pup company—if you’re comfortable with that. Your pet’s safety is my top priority

About: I have fostered dogs all throughout college. I recently adopted a dog that I previously fostered. I am good with helping anxious dogs socialize and feel comfortable with other dogs as well as people. I will take your dog to parks and help them with any medical needs - I have experience in that too! I am comfortable with both house sitting as well as pet boarding. I am willing to be flexible with scheduling and pricing depending on the days requested and distance needed to be traveled. I also have a good relationship with my local veterinarian and will be able to provide emergency care for your pet if needed. I want you and your pet to be happy and at peace when you they are under my care. I am currently working from home, so I can dedicate time and attention to all your pet's needs! I enjoy taking frequent breaks to take care of my mental and physical health and will be able to do the same for you pets :) I have a fenced backyard for safety. Additionally, plenty of dog beds and toys for your pet's comfort. I am also a very vigilant dog walker due to my own dog being anxious around other dogs. I will make sure that your dog's safety is always my priority.

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last 2025 and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash. Time Management & Organization: Experienced in caring for multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Reliability & Attention to Detail: I’m dependable and attentive, always paying close attention to a pet’s behavior and needs. Exercise & Engagement: I provide structured 30-minute walks and make sure each visit includes both care and positive interaction. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect; making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away, and giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently an online student so i have a very flexible schedule! Im available in the mornings, earliest 10am, and the latest at 8pm. I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, calm environment for your pets while also giving you peace of mind knowing your home and pets are being well cared for.

Melida did A LOT of drop-in visits (3×/day for a week) while I was away to take care of my needy dogs. She was punctual, responsive, respectful of property and the perfect sitter. I recieved detailed notes and pics of my dogs for each visit. I appreciate her and her services and will definitely book her again in the future.

We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and proactive throughout our entire vacation. She kept us updated every day with messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was always on time, made sure our dogs were well-fed, took them on great walks, and gave them so much love and attention. When we came home, our house smelled wonderful and was spotless, showing how much care she put into everything. It's clear she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond for both pets and their owners. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring. We will definitely book with her again

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Princeton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Princeton on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,608 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Princeton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Princeton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Princeton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Princeton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Princeton. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
